August 5 - Two brothers killed in suspicious circumstances

August 5 - Two brothers killed in suspicious circumstances

On this day in Tudor history, 5th August 1600, John Ruthven, 3rd Earl of Gowrie, and his brother, Alexander Ruthven, Master of Ruthven, were killed in mysterious circumstances at Gowrie House near Perth in Scotland. Why am I talking about a Scottish event? Well, because the brothers were killed as they allegedly tried to kidnap, King James VI of Scotland, who, in 1603, inherited the English throne from Queen Elizabeth I. But what happened? Did these men really try to kidnap the king or was there more to the story? Find out in today's talk from historian Claire Ridgway. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link: https://youtu.be/kvlg4QDczy4 On this day in Tudor history, 5th August 1549, during the reign of King Edward VI, son of King Henry VIII, the Battle of Clyst St Mary took place near Exeter, in Devon.
